[IDEA]Account dispatch tab

[United Western States of America]

I've noticed a while ago that when you publish a factbook, it is nestled under its own tab (the factbook tab on your nation's homepage), but with accounts (rough quote from memory: "Accounts are articles or stories about your nation's people"), you have to dig through the dispatch tab, which is actually rather unorganized and makes it difficult to find anything. I also personally find it a daunting task to find anything in my own dispatch tab.

Given the original purpose of the account (articles and stories about a nation's people), I am thinking that it would be a good idea to create another tab for accounts, or maybe add another category to the factbook options for dispatches. I personally doubt that it would be hard to put in the code, but I'm not very skilled with code and know very little about computers. Is this a good idea?

It's better organized in the new Rift theme (it's in beta testing). In your settings set your theme to Rift and see whether you prefer it that way.

I set my theme to Rift when it was released; so far the dispatch tab looks exactly the same. Maybe since Rift is in beta testing, there is something that was changed, but I can't see it yet. Maybe in the final version?

Hover your mouse pointer over it. If you're not seeing 5 sub-tabs, there's something wrong with your Rift implementation. Try <Ctrl>F5 to force a refresh.

I tried hovering my pointer over the dispatch tab on my nation's homepage and never got the sub-tabs. I don't know if I am in the wrong place, because when you are in the dispatch section, you get the drop-down menu. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are talking about, but so far it doesn't seem to work. I tried the refresh command that you gave me.

My guess at this point is that there might be something wrong with my Rift implementation if I'm supposed to get the sub-tabs on my homepage. Should I do anything, or just wait for the theme to have all of the bugs worked out?

He means hovering over the dispatch tab/button on the sidebar.

Oh, I see. Well, that feature is working; sorry for the confusion. I was talking about something completely different, I was talking about the dispatches that you post personally and when you are looking through them. I was thinking that we should add a tab right next to the factbook tab on the nation's homepage, the one on the bar that goes over the top of the page under the motto.

Mmm, you could be right. I think you're saying that when you've written a lot of dispatches, and you want to just look at the ones that are Accounts, it's a pain to have to navigate to them with Nation page -> Dispatches -> Change selector to "Accounts" (winding up here). You suggest the "Dispatches" link be replaced with separate links for each of Bulletin, Account, and Meta (if you've written any).

Essentially, yes, that is what I was thinking, I just didn't want to be so extreme as to say that we need a link to all of those independent of each other.

EDIT: Looking into my page on that, you can see why I am suggesting that, especially considering that most of my dispatches are in character; I use bulletins and Meta for regional information, Factbooks and Accounts for IC stuff.
